One thing I'm gona miss this Christmas



Recommended Posts

My mom's famous punch, yes it has Ginger Ale in it so with the carbonation, I'm out! Oh well. She did say she would set some aside for me and let some Ginger Ale go flat so that I could have some of it but it's loaded with calories so I think I will pass. She is making some of my brother's favs that I'm not a fan of so for me I will eat Heavenly Ham, veggies to go along with it that my mom said she would cook for me, of course I will help. One of our family's traditions is a dish called a cheese loaf, yummy, I will have to partake in a small piece of that. She asked me today if I wanted her to make Chex Party Mix and I said nope, don't want it around and she was good with that. She said I had come too far to put a couple of lbs on during Chistmas. I will miss the punch tho. Bahumbug...on the punch.

It sort of expands in your tummy & hurts. My dr suggested that if want a Xmas bubbles to put a pinch of salt in it, it helps it to go flat. Just 1 though. :)

My favorite pecan pineapple cream cheese pie I make. I havent had it in three years but its to die for but not worth the 1000 calories in it for me.

Guess I should add, my head hunger was getting to me last night and I was missing "food items". I will be thankful for my brother and his wife coming in and of course my mom whom I live with, she is 73. However I will always miss my dad, he's been gone 10 yrs due to a massive heart attack and years of obesity until his latter yrs, he died weighing 135, he lost the weight on his own, something I wasn't able to do but now with lap band I can achieve.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
